I have this and using PostgresSQL instead of MongoDB breaks the above query. But my understanding is that it shouldn't break basic queries and only custom queries as shown in the documentations.
https://docs-v3.strapi.io/developer-docs/latest/development/backend-customization.html#queries
https://github.com/strapi/migration-scripts/tree/main/v3-mongodb-v3-sql
I used the scripts and was able to repopulate the db, but like I said I am getting different results, where I am getting some generic default post (converted null post?) instead of 2 specific posts. The post now returned by Postgres seems to not be inside the db, not sure what's going on, but for some reason it's not returning an error.
A little below the section, they mention custom queries and how to use Bookshelf and Mongoose. I used the Mongoose library for custom queries in my understanding, but the above doesn't use Bookshelf or Mongoose at all, so it should work.

I am trying to query the database (Postgres) through Prisma. My query is
const products = await prisma.products.findMany({
where: { category: ProductsCategoryEnum[category] },
include: {
vehicles: {
include: {
manufacturers: { name: { in: { manufacturers.map(item => `"${item}"`) } } },
},
},
},
});
The error message is
Type '{ name: { in: { manufacturers: string; "": any; }; }; }' is not assignable to type 'boolean | manufacturersArgs'.
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'name' does not exist in type 'manufacturersArgs'.ts(2322)
Manufacturers have the field name and it is unique; I am not sure why this is not working or how I can update this code to be able to query the database. It is like I should cast the values into Prisma arguments.
The TypeScript error is pretty self-explanatory: the name property does not exist in manufacturersArgs. The emitted Prisma Client does a great job of telling you what properties do and do not exist when filtering.
If you are trying to perform a nested filter, you need to use select instead of include.
Documentation: https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-client/relation-queries#filter-a-list-of-relations
Your query is going to look something like this:
const products = await prisma.products.findMany({
where: { category: ProductsCategoryEnum[category] },
select: {
// also need to select any other fields you need here
vehicles: {
// Updated this
select: { manufacturers: true },
// Updated this to add an explicit "where" clause
where: {
manufacturers: { name: { in: { manufacturers.map(item => `"${item}"`) } } },
},
},
},
});
The final code ultimately depends on your Prisma schema. If you are using an editor like VS Code, it should provide Intellisense into the Prisma Client's TypeScript definitions. You can use that to navigate the full Prisma Client and construct your query based on exactly what is and is not available. In VS Code, hold control [Windows] or command [macOS] and click on findMany in prisma.products.findMany. This lets you browse the full Prisma Client and construct your query!
The in keyword isn't working for me. I use hasSome to find items in an array. hasEvery is also available depending what the requirements are.
hasSome: manufacturers.map(item => `"${item}"`),
See https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/prisma-client-reference#scalar-list-filters
Creating models in Mongoose is quite pointless since such models are already created with GraphQL and existing constructs (ie TypeScript interface).
How can we get GraphQL to use Mongoose's operations on models supplied from GraphQL without having to recreate models in Mongoose?
Also, it almost seems as if there should be a wrapper for GraphQL that just communicates with the database, avoiding having to write MyModel.findById etc
How does one do that?
Every example on the Internet that talks about GraphQL and Mongodb uses Mongoose.
You should look at GraphQL-to-MongoDB, or how I learned to stop worrying and love generated query APIs. It talks about a middleware package that leverages GraphQL's types to generate your GraphQL API and parses requests sent from clients into MongoDB queries. It more or less skips over Mongoose.
Disclaimer: this is my blog post.
The package generates GraphQL input types for your schema field args, and wraps around the resolve function to parse them into MongoDB queries.
Given a simple GraphQLType:
const PersonType = new GraphQLObjectType({
name: 'PersonType',
fields: () => ({
age: { type: GraphQLInt },
name: {
type: new GraphQLNonNull(new GraphQLObjectType({
name: 'NameType',
fields: () => ({
firstName: { type: GraphQLString },
lastName: { type: GraphQLString }
})
}))
}
})
});
For the most common use case, you'll build a field in the GraphQL schema with a getMongoDbQueryResolver and getGraphQLQueryArgs. The filter, projection, and options provided by the wrapper can be passed directly to the find function.
person: {
type: new GraphQLList(PersonType),
args: getGraphQLQueryArgs(PersonType),
resolve: getMongoDbQueryResolver(PersonType,
async (filter, projection, options, source, args, context) =>
await context.db.collection('person').find(filter, projection, options).toArray()
)
}
An example of a query you could send to such a field:
{
person (
filter: {
age: { GT: 18 },
name: {
firstName: { EQ: "John" }
}
},
sort: { age: DESC },
pagination: { limit: 50 }
) {
name {
lastName
}
age
}
}
There's also a wrapper and argument types generator for mutation fields.
SailsJS with MongoDB adapter not working as expected. I have following relations defined:
Post.js:
module.exports = {
connection: 'mongodb',
attributes: {
title: 'string',
categories: {
collection: 'postCategory',
via: 'posts'
}
}
};
PostCategory.js
module.exports = {
connection: 'mongodb',
attributes: {
name: 'string',
posts: {
collection: 'post',
via: 'categories'
}
}
};
When I query without criteria and populate categories like:
Post.find()
.populate('categories')
.then(...)
it gives me correct result, the document has categories nested.
But when I try to pass criteria it returns no result. e.g.
Post.find({categories: 'food'})
.populate('categories')
.then(...)
Note: I inserted category _id as string (food, travel, etc) in database
Please help
You will not get any results because in categories it will store the _id.
You can get the results by doing the following query.
PostCategory.find({name: 'food'})
.populate('posts')
.then(...)
I am using the native method of sails-mongo to query a collection. I need to use native to access some of the Mongo geospatial query features.
I would like to use the sails populate syntax to include associated models.
Is there a way to do this?
Here is an example of my existing code:
Trip.native(function(err, collection) {
collection.find(
{
"locationTo": {
"$near": {
"$maxDistance": 80467.35439432222,
"$geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [-117.133655, 32.720519]
}
}
}
}
)
.toArray(function(err, trips) {
console.log("Trips nearby:", trips);
});
});
Here is my Trip model for reference.
var Trip = {
attributes: {
owner: {
model: 'User'
},
title: 'string',
addressFrom: 'string',
locationFrom: 'json', // geoJson
dateTimeDepart: 'datetime',
dateTimeArrive: 'datetime',
dateTimeReturn: 'datetime',
addressTo: 'string',
locationTo: 'json', // geoJson
driver: {
model: 'User'
},
status: {
type: 'string',
defaultsTo: 'PENDING'
}
}
}
Would be helpful if you share the Trip model as well. If the field you wish to populate has type "collection" (not "array"), you should be able to populate it just fine.
Update: Alright, I got your question wrong. There doesn't seem to be any way of populating directly after a native call. There's really not much you can do with a native call as far as Waterline functions are concerned. I would suggest either running another query(Waterline) after you've fetched locationTo or populating the fields yourself since you only need to populate two of them(and that too from the same model). I can't think of anything that would suffice with a single query.
Thanks, I ended up doing it in two queries for now.
First, I build an array of matching ID's via the native query.
var tripIdList = trips.map(function (trip) {
return trip._id
});
Second, I do a normal find query using the ID list. It's not a single query but works well. Thanks for the help
Trip.find(filter)
.where({id: tripIdList})
.populate('driver')
.exec(function (err, trips) {
console.log("Trips:", trips);
}
I'm using MongoDB as a log keeper for my app to then sync mobile clients. I have this models set up in NodeJS:
var UserArticle = new Schema({
date: { type: Number, default: Math.round((new Date()).getTime() / 1000) }, //Timestamp!
user: [{type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: "User"}],
article: [{type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: "Article"}],
place: Number,
read: Number,
starred: Number,
source: String
});
mongoose.model("UserArticle",UserArticle);
var Log = new Schema({
user: [{type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: "User"}],
action: Number, // O => Insert, 1 => Update, 2 => Delete
uarticle: [{type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: "UserArticle"}],
timestamp: { type: Number, default: Math.round((new Date()).getTime() / 1000) }
});
mongoose.model("Log",Log);
When I want to retrive the log I use the follwing code:
var log = mongoose.model('Log');
log
.where("user", req.session.user)
.desc("timestamp")
.populate("uarticle")
.populate("uarticle.article")
.run(function (err, articles) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
res.send(500);
return;
}
res.json(articles);
As you can see, I want mongoose to populate the "uarticle" field from the Log collection and, then, I want to populate the "article" field of the UserArticle ("uarticle").
But, using this code, Mongoose only populates "uarticle" using the UserArticle Model, but not the article field inside of uarticle.
Is it possible to accomplish it using Mongoose and populate() or I should do something else?
Thank you,
From what I've checked in the documentation and from what I hear from you, this cannot be achieved, but you can populate the "uarticle.article" documents yourself in the callback function.
However I want to point out another aspect which I consider more important. You have documents in collection A which reference collection B, and in collection B's documents you have another reference to documents in collection C.
You are either doing this wrong (I'm referring to the database structure), or you should be using a relational database such as MySQL here. MongoDB's power relies in the fact you can embed more information in documents, thus having to make lesser queries (having your data in a single collection). While referencing something is ok, having a reference and then another reference doesn't seem like you're taking the full advantage of MongoDB here.
Perhaps you would like to share your situation and the database structure so we could help you out more.
You can use the mongoose-deep-populate plugin to do this. Usage:
User.find({}, function (err, users) {
User.deepPopulate(users, 'uarticle.article', function (err, users) {
// now each user document includes uarticle and each uarticle includes article
})
})
Disclaimer: I'm the author of the plugin.
I faced the same problem,but after hours of efforts i find the solution.It can be without using any external plugin:)
applicantListToExport: function (query, callback) {
this
.find(query).select({'advtId': 0})
.populate({
path: 'influId',
model: 'influencer',
select: { '_id': 1,'user':1},
populate: {
path: 'userid',
model: 'User'
}
})
.populate('campaignId',{'campaignTitle':1})
.exec(callback);
}
Mongoose v5.5.5 seems to allow populate on a populated document.
You can even provide an array of multiple fields to populate on the populated document
var batch = await mstsBatchModel.findOne({_id: req.body.batchId})
.populate({path: 'loggedInUser', select: 'fname lname', model: 'userModel'})
.populate({path: 'invoiceIdArray', model: 'invoiceModel',
populate: [
{path: 'updatedBy', select: 'fname lname', model: 'userModel'},
{path: 'createdBy', select: 'fname lname', model: 'userModel'},
{path: 'aircraftId', select: 'tailNum', model: 'aircraftModel'}
]});
how about something like:
populate_deep = function(type, instance, complete, seen)
{
if (!seen)
seen = {};
if (seen[instance._id])
{
complete();
return;
}
seen[instance._id] = true;
// use meta util to get all "references" from the schema
var refs = meta.get_references(meta.schema(type));
if (!refs)
{
complete();
return;
}
var opts = [];
for (var i=0; i<refs.length; i++)
opts.push({path: refs[i].name, model: refs[i].ref});
mongoose.model(type).populate(instance, opts, function(err,o){
utils.forEach(refs, function (ref, next) {
if (ref.is_array)
utils.forEach(o[ref.name], function (v, lnext) {
populate_deep(ref.ref_type, v, lnext, seen);
}, next);
else
populate_deep(ref.ref_type, o[ref.name], next, seen);
}, complete);
});
}
meta utils is rough... want the src?
or you can simply pass an obj to the populate as:
const myFilterObj = {};
const populateObj = {
path: "parentFileds",
populate: {
path: "childFileds",
select: "childFiledsToSelect"
},
select: "parentFiledsToSelect"
};
Model.find(myFilterObj)
.populate(populateObj).exec((err, data) => console.log(data) );
